Patrick Kane Poised to Return to Lineup Against Sabres

Veteran right winger Patrick Kane (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday against his hometown Buffalo Sabres, pending official activation from injured reserve. Upon returning, the 37-year-old is projected to take Teuvo Teravainen's spot on the second line and the top power-play unit. Kane is seeking his first goal of the season, currently carrying a 14-game goalless streak dating back to Sept. 29.
